During an entire year, I document every unintentional injury that happens to me. I am interested in how they thwart recurring discourses centering *will* and agency through action on/with the body, which are very common in the art history i was taught. everytime an injury occurs, I document it via writing, following a protocol : every injury has to be linked to a historicized work of art that uses self-injury. Simultaneously, throughout the year, i organize closed-door meetings with mad and/or psychiatrized artists. My process
is archived on a website throughout the year, which is then put offline -- the visual traces of which are purposefully rendered unaccessible. I then present the “result” of this experimentation through a loggorhea-anamnesis at the end of the residency.
